Argh. Fighting my first Green Plesioth. Simply cannot beat him. Tried all the same tactics I used on the normal Plesioth, and I just can't get past him. And I beat the normal Plesioth in the Desert without taking a single hit. I think it's the terrain (Jungle).
Anyway, any general tips? If I can't take him down soon I may just take a break from MH for a while, maybe pick up Valhalla Knights Eldar Saga when it comes out, play that until Phantasy Star Zero comes out.
Well, what weapon do you use? Melee can be hard, ranged is the easiest for plesioth.
Bring you favorite weapon, if possible, thunder elemental, and your armor with higher defense.
With plesioth well, if you can, bring sonic bombs to take him off water, Shock trap, 2 trap tools, and 2 genprey fangs to make two more in battle (Book of combos too because the % of making garbage is high), Potions, Attack and Defense buffs (Power pill, Armor pill, Armorskin, Demondrug) And try take a meal with your cats that raise your defense.
The strategy, is well, take him off water, check where he is when you throw the sonic bomb, and check where does he lands. When he runs to the shore to dive, check the spot. He always will run there to jump.
When he dive again, you already know some good spots to lay a trap.
Try to recreate where you throw the sonic bomb but first lay a shock trap when he lands. Shock trap is double effective against Plesioth, so you have a good amount of time to do damage. Then after the trap effects goes off, make a new trap and lay it where he runs to jump back on water. Continue to attack him until he runs to your trap.
Dont put the trap if he is in the same area for long time, because maybe he changes area and leave your trap there. Instead wait until he changes area and put the trap on the new area. Also dont put traps at random places because he doesnt chase you like other wyverns.
When you are attacking him, the only attack that should be a hard to dodge is his hip attack. try to be between his legs, so his tail whip doesnt hurt you and you can keep attacking him.
With all the time from traps, you pretty much do a lot of dmg to him, just keep attacking him and it will die.
Thats for melee.
For ranged, just bring thunder elemental shots, and pierce shots, first shoot the elemental, then the pierce Lv3-the LV2 at last LV1, and change to Normal LV3-2-1 It will be dead before you run out of ammo and needs to use Normal LV1.
